Two directors at Legis Group have been named amongst the 50 most influential private client professionals by a leading wealth management publication.

Stuart Platt-Ransom, group managing director, and Alison Parry managing director, Trust and Corporate, were included in the prestigious list compiled by the publication Private Client Practitioner. One of the leading titles in the wealth management industry, Private Client Practitioner describes its list as ‘celebrating the movers and shakers in the UK private client advisory professions’.

Stuart Platt-Ransom assumed responsibility for the Legis Group in July 2007 and during this time has transformed the business into one of the largest and most highly rated independent financial services firms in Guernsey. In 2011 Mr Platt-Ransom successfully led a management buyout of the Legis Group from its previous owners and since this time has implemented a strategy that has enabled year-on-year growth despite difficult global economic times.

Alison Parry has more than two decades’ experience in the offshore financial services industry. She joined Legis Group to head up the trust and corporate services division in 2008. Recognised for her sterling reputation and experience within the industry on a number of occasions she was noted within the Citywealth Leaders List and was shortlisted for the Citywealth “Woman of the Year” in 2012.

‘To be recognised in this way underlines the calibre and credibility of the senior team at Legis. Legis Group has now become an award winning, best of breed independent financial services business committed to Guernsey and to providing a very high level of client service and employee training and development. It is down to the efforts of the senior management team and the work undertaken by Stuart, Alison and their colleagues that the business has been able to go from strength to strength,’ said Mr Parkinson.

Each nomination into the 50 most influential private client professionals list, compiled by Private Client Practitioner, was judged by PAM Insight on its strength, the merits of the individual nominated and PAM Insight’s market knowledge.
